Severance was one of the most beautiful series I watched of late. Not just intriguing, but beautiful, artistically beautiful. Very happy to hear it’s been renewed for a second season.

Let’s discuss it! :)

PS: and here you can find Severance: The Lexington Letter – the cherry on the show.

    I couldn’t agree with you more, I absolutely loved the first season. Brilliant acting, perfect pacing and all around just one of the best science fiction shows of recent years.

    Hopefully the second season will be as good!

    I worry about the long gap between season 1 and season 2. A lot of shows have really suffered with such long gaps, especially ones that are as serialized as this one is.

      1.5+ years is a long time… It’ll be good to rewatch season 1 right before. I share your worries.

    Absolutely love Severance. Don’t know how to do a spoiler tag in Lemmy but I will be heartbroken if John Turturro doesn’t get a happy ending with his love interest. They were cute.

      I really appreciate that media (even if it’s pandering, whatever) is starting to show a much wider variety of romantic relationships. Representation is important, and seeing the gentle courtship between Burt and Irving was incredibly sweet.

    I loved Season 1… it had that rarest of things in modern TV: a premise that was so intriguing, it made me think about it when I wasn’t watching the show. So many deep questions to ponder about it.

      An element that amazed me were the framings. Art. I’ve never seen something like that, besides maybe in some films by Kubrick like A Clockwork Orange and 2001.

    When is season 2 supposed to come out? They kinda teased it last year during Apple’s iPhone event but I haven’t heard anything about it since.

    This is one of those shows I wish I could watch for the first time again. I hardly ever get my husband to watch more than 2 episodes of anything in a row but we binged this show in a day, it was so compelling! Can’t wait for a season 2, that was such a big cliffhanger of a last episode.

    I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed severance. It was just so fresh and creative. I especially enjoyed the worker solidarity themes throughout.

    I watched Severance by mistake, thinking I was watching Succession, which meant I was totally disoriented for the first few episodes as I waited for Brian Cox to turn up. It was glorious. Can totally recommend.
